Synergistic Stepparenting Podcast #18: Best Stepchild Communication Technique
Hello Stepparents! Recently, I’ve spent several episodes discussing your stepchild’s loyalty conflict, their behavior, even the wiring of their brain and why some approaches work better than others in interactions with your stepchild.
To that end, today I’d like to focus on my favorite technique that I think is one of the most important and effective. Find the show notes for this episode at synergisticstepparenting.com/18.
To be honest this technique works well across the spectrum of relationships – be it with your spouse, in-law, friend, or co-worker. It works well with kids too. And your stepchild needs you to have effective tools when interacting with them in challenging times and bad days.
Topics Covered:
- A powerful technique that helps your stepchild self-regulate.
- How to respond when something's wrong in a way that won't make things worse
- 4 Steps of Reflective Listening
- What do avoid doing with little kids
- Benefits of Reflective Listening
- Do I have to do this alone?
Doing this work is simple but not easy. And as a stepparent there are often additional considerations and particulars adding to the challenges.
You don't have to go through this alone. In my VIP Breakthrough Program, I hold your hand every step of the way and guide you to a life of more ease, peace and joy.

Until next time, be well!
